And that’s basically it!
Janitor, depending on the work place have contract with children. So maybe not
Religious people make up a large portion of the dipshits who don't believe in stuff like germ theory...for instance Kennedy and Kegsbreath, do you want them in charge of sanitation?
I've known plenty of religious people who were pretty decent folk. But no-one who makes decisions that impact others should be letting their beliefs influence those decisions. I'd rather they rolled a fuckin dice.
That means that report of them thinking they are doing some type of holy war thing was true.
and people wonder why I despise of religious folk in charge
hes a faux chatholic, became one to get elected by appalachians apparently. and he was handpicked by anti-christ thiel.
Which is funny because Appalachia doesn't like catholicism. That's pentecostal country
I was born here and grew up here and I can tell you with no doubt that this place is far right wing evangelical. So far right that Asheville has the center for Billy Graham's cult and Ridgecrest. No they think Catholics are not Christian. I really have no idea why he converted to Catholicism other than he is willing to change his face to get what he wants.
Vance is whatever he's told to be. He holds no convictions beyond what his handlers approve.
Historically Catholics would follow the opinion of Rome (the pope) but he is trying to create an "American Catholic" opinion for them to follow instead. Global religions are a risk to any authoritative government. They can't control their influence as easily.
“I think there are things about the world that make feel like not shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us,” Vance added.
Oh, you're so close, J D
This is Peter Thiel's ideology, almost verbatim.
They’re both on the Antichrist’s side
Fascinating enough, this might be actually "ok" by they are in the accelerationist camp, then the anti christ is a good thing. They think the world is beyond saving and thus the faster the end times come, the better.
From my experiences growing up in a religious family that was complicit/adjacent to this mindset, I am all but convinced this is exactly what they feel
He's only VP because Thiel interceded for him...
"Fuck your new world." - Jeanne, Bayonetta.
I m ok too if he starts by himself.

Look, I understand the concern.
But these guys are actually a death cult. Just like Nazis were. Maybe we should, you know, point out that the rapists are murderers too.
Yeah, and that starts with holding them to account, there doesn’t work if

So stop defending President pedophile
The fuck you on about? Its not just a distraction from the Epstein Files.
They are trying to cause mass death. This isn't something I'm pulling out of thin air. They are child rapists AND they are genocidal maniacs. Two things CAN be true.
If anyone is defending them you are by saying that we should only focus on child abuse.

Picture needs more germs.
At this point I don't think the files would change anything. Everyone already suspects they are rapists and their followers have proven time and time again that they are willing to turn a blind eye to any and all deplorable behavior.
Because MAGA hates this cunt, and he wants to run for president in 2028. He is going after a group even worse than MAGA - American faux Christians.
You know most of maga supporters also used to hate Trump right? He was a Democrat and best friends with the Clintons and a big city fat cat, they do not care about anything except what helps them spread hate more easily.
Republicans have always been evil, that's why that's been a pretty easy joke in a lot of media for decades. Republicans are demons, and its best we treat them that way in all aspects.
Faux Christian is the perfect nomenclature. I was raised in a Christian household and my parents are super surprised that I hold christian ideals as important. Super radical ideals like feeding hungry people and healhthcare (no different from any major religion i.e. 5 pillars of islam) while not being a christian myself.
Let's not pretend he believes anything he says.
Upvoted but you really should take them at face value on the revelations talk. They're not fucking joking.
edit: JD might be lying (IMO he's not) but his audience believe it 100% and they're being stoked towards violence at the institutional level https://streamable.com/2yj2tj (Link valid until 41 hours after this post. Download and share plz)
When I say take them at face value, it's cuz we're talking about people who literally believe God will call them to genocide you. IYKYK
I think he might, but one way or another, it’s irrelevant. That’s the narrative he’s selling and pushing for. The consequences of that narrative are real regardless of his beliefs.
He went from atheist to Catholic in like 2019.
That's cuz he can spend more time with his bee-elza-"bud".
We've known for years that these Nationalist Christians wanted to bring about the end times, they're just finally at the point where they can finally say it out loud and not have to tap dance around it.
Fucking Nat-Cs, always have to make the world worse so they can get to the end of their fairy tale (despite knowing that they'll be left behind because they are the most unchristian people of all)...
I'm generally fine with their arrogant LARPing, so long as it remains on some compound in Texas or whatever. Taxpayer money going to find out that a religion has missed its 9 millionth End Times prediction in an unironic effort to make their god do things on their schedule is some tremendous BS.
he is death after all demostrating by reaping the pope. and death is one of the herald of the apocalypse, and strongest of the 4 horsemen.
what better way to demostrate by reaping the soul of a holy person.
His pale horse is a couch, though.
Like in the Bible? Because that's not real
You know that and I know that but a truly shocking number of ostensibly responsible adults ... don't
